Hike #3 - Doughnut Falls

Hike #3 - here we come!

Doughnut Falls is absolutely gorgeous!  We didn't attempt it last year but I figured we could give a try this year.

My cute boys taking a rest...

not sure what Austin's face is doing but they were enjoying this little hike

*Austin, Jax, Logan, Rio & Avery*

Roxy had brought sacks for the kids to fill up with "treasures"

Oops... he's so cute.  Didn't quite have the balance he thought he did.

The descent down to the Falls

We made it to the Falls!

I brought doughnuts up with us for the kids so they could eat a doughnut at Doughnut Falls :)

Yep, I'll all about the cheesiness

This place is beautiful!  I just love hiking with these cuties - they are honestly amazing kids.

Great job kids!

My cute kiddos minus Blake again - he was hanging out with Grandma Marsha - thanks mom!

So glad to have Roxy and her kids that love to do these fun things too!

Going back across the falls was a little tricky...

...the coolest part about it though was watching these little kids just be brave and go for it!

They knew that I had to help Logan and be right by him because he wouldn't walk in the river for too long so I said, "you can do it!  Just go!"  and they did!

Austin, Jax and Lucas took the lead and Rio went right after they did.

Then Reese...

...and Carson and Avery too.

Whew!  They made it to the big rock to rest their very, very cold feet.

Way to go guys!  What a beautiful area and they had a blast once again.

We were almost all the way down the mountain so we had to stop for a quick pic.

Austin was so cute and took mine and Roxy's picture.  He did a pretty good job right?

YAH!

What's next - we've got to do a few more before the cold strikes us.
